New Year, New Blog Design!

Wednesday, 11 January 2012

I've spent the past week working on a fresh new blog design for Mimi and Tilly. I've used vintage Japanese washi paper I brought back with me from Japan years ago. I've been saving it for a special project, and thought it was time to crack it out.

I've also used a picture of my feet. Standing on a tea towel. Classy. As well as photos of jewellery I've made. The dangling clear earrings in my header are made from antique crystal chandelier droplets and silver wire.

I love the brighter colours and fresher feel.

What do you think?

I'll be back soon with more blog posts. This blog break is doing me the power of good, although I'm still catching up on my blog reading and commenting.

I love your new look!! Bright & sparkling! The one of your feet is totally adorable - a perfect 'signature' pic :) I like to change up the look of my blog once in a while too - it breathes fresh life into everything.
